"Brevity is confidence. Length is fear."

This was just posted to the blog from Debbie, who states:

"The title's quotation is the main idea of a transformational book I mentioned in last week's discussion board: 

Smart Brevity: The Power of Saying More With Less

While its focus is broader than just those in the e-learning profession, its central ideas are:

• People read and absorb even less of your writing than you think
• Writing in a concise and visual style helps get your point across

It provides formulas and examples (and of course, it's a quick read!). It's inspired me to apply these ideas to all of my communications--and e-learning development--and to avoid the dreaded td;lr phenomenon (too long; didn't read). I'm excited to move forward with greater confidence!"
